Pet care experience

Cats-only sitter in South Philly

I've got several years of sitting on Rover under my belt, but even before that often came in to help out friends, family and neighbors with cat care. I'm comfortable giving liquid and pill medications, happy to handle specialized feeding requests, and knowledgeable about the latest developments in litter box technology.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer all clients a complimentary in-person meet and greet before my first visit, and that provides me with an opportunity to learn your cat's routine and needs. We will go over your safety and care checklist for home visits at that time, or in messages if you're not able to meet in person. I like to make sure cats get the extra attention they may require, whether it be playtime, a special treat or making sure a favorite perch is comfortable and next to a window, so please don't hesitate to tell me what their preferences are.

Susan always does a great job watching my cat, Sage. The updates are always consistent and let's me know how he's doing. I appreciate the courtesy and care she's given to him and my home.

Schedule

I’m available during business hours and for evening and weekend visits in South Philly. My main neighborhoods are East Passyunk/Passyunk Sq, Dickinson Sq, Pennsport, and Bella Vista/Italian Market. When my schedule allows, I will take bookings outside of that area, but generally stay south of South Street, north of Snyder and west of Broad. I’m happy to talk about your pet’s special scheduling needs if medications are involved, but if you're looking for someone who can do daily visits 12 hours apart (for diabetic cats or other medications where there can't be an hour or two of lag) starting before 8 am, I usually can't take those as my working hours cap out at 10. Please let me know if you have additional housesitting needs, as I'm happy to keep an eye out for packages, water plants and set out trash and recycling while you are away.

Cats
Susan can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
Please let me know as much as possible about your cat's preferences, food and medications. I'm comfortable administering pills, liquids and injections, and appreciate candor about how difficult a cat might be about those! Let me know if your cats try to dart out the front or back doors, and any concerns or issues to keep an eye out for while you are away.
